No.

In terms of answering my own question, it depends on the time period I'm writing. I don't think I've ever written quite the cliched way with Nick and Brian in one corner, AJ and Howie in the other and Kevin off to the side, but probably because Kevin has always been my favorite. LOL I think when I do write past tense fics, I tend to make Nick and Brian very close along with Kevin. I've never really gotten the whole AJ and Howie thing. Even back then I would have put Howie and Kevin together and AJ off to the side.
In present day, I do think they all have a special connection to each other. I mean how couldn't they? They've been together for so long now. I think each one of them share a connection with one another maybe with the exception of Brian and Howie, but even those two I think try to share their love of God, church and family as a common thread. I do think Nick and Brian will always have a special bond but I have always felt that while Nick clearly worships the ground Brian walks on, it's never fully been reciprocated. I tend to showcase the bond between Howie and Nick more these days because to me they seem to be pretty close although as a threesome including Kevin, that works too.
I agree that I think AJ and Brian have a special connection as well. I also think Kevin and AJ have a lovely friendship. Unfortunately for AJ though, since I hardly ever feel him creatively, I don't usually go down his road very much. (sorry AJ)
I haven't really explored Nick and AJ's relationship either for that reason. I really want to because I think those two have a great chemistry as well.
Everyone knows Kevin and Nick will always be my favorite relationship to showcase though. ^ see above.

When I first became a fan, I always saw the group as being kind of divided. For me, it was Brian and Nick, Kevin and Howie, and AJ was like neutral ground (happy on his own or as part of either of the two other groups). I actually find it a bit strange that everyone seemed to see AJ and Howie as being a strong pair. I never saw that. Weird.
In terms of writing, I love bringing the cliche Frick and Frack pairing into the present day. Since I'm a Brian girl, it's hard for me not to see Brian and Nick as being close. I know that they definitely weren't for a long while, but it seems like they're becoming closer again (or perhaps that's just wishful thinking on my part).
I also love writing Brian and AJ together. Let's face it, the two of them are kind of hilarious when you pair them up.
Even to this day, I will group Kevin and Howie because they are the oldest and come across as being the most calm and level headed. I can actually see them getting along really well in real life.
I don't really see a big connection between AJ and Kevin. Nor do I see one between Brian and Howie. Those are the pairings that I will avoid because I really have no idea what I would write about (other than a fight scene perhaps - LOL)

This would be nearly impossible for me! While I love the Nick/Kevin pairing, I don't think that I could write a whole story just about the two of them. Although it may work out if I were to have them "mount" each other ... LOL - KIDDING!
